Former President Donald Trump was ripped by some on social media and questioned by others after a bizarre Truth Social post in which he appeared to criticize Ron DeSantis shortly after the Republican Florida governor launched his bid for president. “‘Rob,’
My Red Button is bigger, better, stronger, and is working (TRUTH!), yours does not! (per my conversation with Kim Jung Un, of North Korea, soon to become my friend!),” read Trump’s baffling post on Wednesday. The post was later shared by the Trump campaign in an email to supporters.

Friday, May 5 marks the end of Florida’s 2023 legislative session, which was host to a variety of bills rammed through by the state’s Republican supermajority in tandem with support from Gov. Ron DeSantis. At a bill signing in Jacksonville earlier this week, the governor thanked the state’s lawmakers for being “productive”
off the heels of his 2022 reelection, which was host to a steep red wave. “We’ve done so much stuff this year to lead the country as is… We’ve got a lot more in the hopper that we will be signing in the law over the next few...

Bud Light is in big trouble as sales continue to plummet, according to data released by Bump Williams Consulting. As Slay News has reported, decent-minded Americans everywhere have been boycotting Anheuser-Busch products after Bud Light tried to pour “woke” ideology down their throats. Bud
Light sales were down 21.4% compared to the same time last year.

Next Thursday (March 23rd) declared another day of strikes and protest in France but new strikes and protests already launched en masse following President Emmanuel Macron's pulling of the trigger on pension reform. Fearful
that a majority would not endorse the change of the retirement age from 62 to 64 and the shuffling of benefits, Macron went for the nuclear option of using Article 49.3 of the French Constitution.... In Paris garbage workers have already been on strike for more than a week now and union leaders on Friday urged more trash collectors to go on strike across the country......

"Hashtag, 50 is the new 30," says Tiat Lim when asked about his age. And
for Tiat, who turned half-a-century old early this year, the statement isn't a hollow one by a mid-lifer in denial either. More from AsiaOne Read the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite. After all, the man has been found to have successfully reversed his biological age by more than 20 years. The "de-ageing" process to turn back the clock took him about six years, from around the time he and his sister opened their gym, Bespoke Fitness, in 2016. The...

Perhaps he’d like a Pepsi? President Biden appears to have gotten rid of the Diet Coke button his predecessor, President Donald Trump, used on the resolute desk in the Oval Office. Political commentator Tom Newton Dunn on Thursday tweeted a photo of Biden behind the desk with stacks of executive orders —
but the famous little red button Trump pushed to get his favorite soft drink appeared to be missing. “President Biden has removed the Diet Coke button,” Dunn wrote. “Eventually Trump pressed it, and a butler swiftly brought in a Diet Coke on a silver platter. It’s gone now.”...

| 08/03/2022 | Monica Showalter
For President Trump, this morning's got to be sweet. His
endorsed candidates, one after another, won over other GOP candidates in Tuesday's primaries. Those coveted endorsements went for congressional seats in Arizona, Michigan, and sort-of Missouri, where it appeared that President Trump endorsed both candidates with the first name "Eric." The counting is still on in places like Washington, so it may not have been a full sweep, but it came very, very close. Many of the candidates Trump endorsed were political upstarts, not incumbents, which have a harder time winning, so the primary victories were all the more impressive....

Scarborough Rolls Out Red Carpet for Hillary 'Reset Button' Clinton

If there's one person who shouldn't pontificate about dealing with Putin and Russia, it's Hillary Clinton. As Obama's Secretary of State, Hillary staged that pathetic, supposed, "reset" of relations with Putin's Russia, capped by laughingly pushing her [mistranslated] reset button with Putin's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Subsequently during Obama's tenure, Putin invaded
and annexed the Crimea region of Ukraine, as Obama meekly responded with some feckless sanctions. So much for your reset, Hillary. But there was Hillary on Friday's Morning Joe, opining at great length about how America should respond to the invasion. Joe Scarborough rolled out the red carpet...

| NOVEMBER 23, 2021 | BY STEVEN HAYWARD
All last week the scuttlebutt in the media and in Washington was that President Biden was leaning toward appointing progressive favorite Lael Brainard to replace the “dangerous” (in Lizzie Warren’s words) Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve, because Brainard pledged to make the Fed a full partner in pushing the
climate and “anti-racist” agenda by pressuring financial institutions not to make loans to any fossil fuel companies. Never mind that the legal authority for this kind of thumb-on-the-scale of capital allocation cannot be found in any statute governing the Fed, but who needs statutory authority when you have...
